Police Batons > Training Batons

Proper law enforcement training requires high-quality training equipment, and training batons are no exception. Improper use of batons and other self defense equipment can make it ineffective at best and extremely dangerous at worst. Our selection includes training batons and training baton accessories from well-known police equipment companies such as ASP and Monadnock.

While law enforcement batons may appear simple to use, proper baton training is as necessary as proper firearm instruction. A weak, glancing blow from a baton is much less likely to stop an assailant than a firm, accurate strike, putting the officer at risk. Uncontrolled strikes may cause unnecessary injury or even death to a suspect. Side handle batons in particular require specific training, as they can be used to perform advanced defensive and grappling techniques.

Training batons are typically designed to mimic the shape and size of regular law enforcement batons. However, the materials used are very different. Instead of steel or high-density polycarbonate, training batons are typically made from foam or another lightweight material, often wrapped around a rigid core for improved durability and shape retention. Their reduced weight allows trainees to practice realistic, full-force baton techniques at a much lower risk of injury to themselves or to the instructor.

This section also includes training bags. Training bags are an essential tool for close-quarters combat training, allowing trainees to practice delivering full-force baton strikes as well as unarmed striking techniques. Their heavy-duty materials allow them to withstand repeated forceful impacts, while handles on the rear side make it easy to hold them up.
